As of now C# has taken the crown from Python as my favorite language.

cool, why?

👌

@AleCx04 I mean there’s a few reasons. the syntax, the performance it has. I also love the ecosystem of .NET Core and VS/VSCode, but one that doesn’t really have to do with C# is that I’ve just been falling out of love with Python. I still love it just not as much, and after exploring other languages there are things about Python I can appreciate and vice versa

@Bubbles I have a tendency to chuck python in with js and other abominations, might I ask what it is you like about the language?

Have you tried F#?

So you've replaced your old lover with a slightly younger one!

@SomeNone caml gang represent

One of us! One of us!

@ArcaneEye well I understand python wasn’t made to be the most performant which some people give it shit for, which it is slow don’t get me wrong but it’s not as slow as people make it out to be. Where Python shines is that it’s great for pumping out pretty nice programs pretty quickly with not as much code written, and automation is probably what it does best imo. It’s just overall not that bad of a language it would just need a chance but I do understand why people would dislike it it’s not perfect.

I’ll even give JavaScript it’s own praise even though I use it but I don’t like it, it’s the best for front end stuff and that’s where I draw the line.

@SomeNone I don’t really have an interest for it

@nibor yes you could say that 😄

@Bubbles well JavaScript is also the only thing for frontend, so... :-p

I hate it's guts. I know that is in part due to unfamiliarity, but also a significant amount due to lack of debugging options and case fuckery.

I use C# winforms/console to crank out fast programs and just can't get used to the indentation stuff in python...

@ArcaneEye yeah it was made for front end and does it amazingly so I wish it would only be front end, but then people think “what if” and not “holy shit no why would you even want to do that”.

@ArcaneEye
> lack of debugging
Wait what? Are you working with Internet explorer or something ?

@Commodore No, I'm working with Visual Studio and compared to that, chrome feels no better than js does when compared to C#.

@Bubbles I'm just waiting for blazor to really take over :-p and yeah, I've never worked with nodejs, but just the idea gives me shivers.

@ArcaneEye well I've worked extensively with both c# and node.
When it comes to tooling, you can get the same features in both worlds. Hell you can even clutter your ram the same way.
The only thing to get shivers from is your own ignorance.

@ArcaneEye Blazor is pretty cool for what it is
